Re: Another Font Mystery

[Dov Isaacs <isaacs@xxxxxxxxx>]

The problem is that the Micrografx EPS file doesn't have the 
TrueType Symbol font embedded in the EPS file itself. See if
Micrografx Designer provides that option for you. Distiller 4.0x
and earlier had no way of locating and embedding TrueType fonts
that were not already in the PostScript stream. Distiller 5.0x
does indeed support finding and embedding TrueType and OpenType
files. You might want to consider Acrobat 5.0.5 if you can't
force Micrografx Designer to properly embed fonts in the EPS file.
